Semargl Globeflowers and loved each other but couldn't be together as protector of the sun had no right to absent himself from the sun for a moment. But once Semargl allowed the feelings to take precedence over debt, and since that day (the day of the autumnal equinox, September 21) night gradually lengthened by winning the day. Soon the globe-and sky had two children who were called Kupala and Kostroma. On the day of their birth Perun gave the children of a brother gift – blooming fern. This magical flower of Perun have invested part of their power.
